We were advised to buy this stove to heat a house with 18 radiators, we only expected to get background heat for that, really never expected it to be the main heat source for the house. Good job. most definitely does not do "what it says on the tin" despite being used to keeping a fire burning overnight we never got this one to stay in overnight. If we had it going to heat the rads then we had to leave the room, if we tried to have it just ticking over to heat the room then we had to keep our jackets on or go to bed for a heat. 6 months after buying, we are selling it.\n\n

Stove expert replied: This is a large output stove and does not sound like it has been installed / used to its maximum potential. The fuel used will make a big difference. Would like to find out more!!
